I jump to a conclusion
but then retrace my steps
I ask; "what's this intrusion?"
you say: "what's the bet?"

I work all day for sixpence
a pocket full of rye
"I see you're sitting on a fence."
"Fuck-off" was the reply

"It all goes down the same way"
my granny said to me
but mind your step, you'll bump your head
if you don't let sleeping dogs lie.
